"Everyone knows what happened in the winter is at FC Twente," said Fer. "I was happy to go to Everton. The story of my knee is complete nonsense, I've played through everything after the winter.

"Of course the failed transfer did something to me, I just do not trust anyone anymore. Everton coach David Moyes has tried to pick me up. He is now at Manchester United. Now it remains to be seen. I have two seasons at FC Twente and it's not a punishment to play football there. If anything comes up, we will look."
